About the blog

This is a blog born out of selfishness. Its sole purpose is to facilitate the writer's academic studies. If you are looking for novel insights or piercing critiques, you will not find them here. If you are looking for accurate summaries, you might (despite my best efforts) find the posts lacking.

But if you are clueless about certain academic papers and require some assistance in understanding them — perhaps exams are near and you don't have time to read the actual paper in full — this blog will be of help. In which case: Cheers to academics!

I occasionally blog about non-academic stuff too if you want to check out.

About

This is a blog born out of selfishness. Its sole purpose is to facilitate my academic studies. It will contain almost paragraph by paragraph summaries of academic papers. The goal is not to gain novel insights (it invariably happens) or pass piercing critiques (it often happens but is not set to writing, obviously). The goal is quite simply to force myself to understand the paper in question (it sometimes happens).

I almost always end up editing the posts at a later date. Because errors! So proceed with caution always and be especially distrustful if the post is a fresh one. While reading a summary, it is always a good idea to have the paper along with you. If you don’t have access to the online libraries to which most of the links to the papers refer to, leave a comment.
